    Don't even bother with this place. We called on the phone, left 2 messages and the voicemail says "We will get right back with you". No such luck. As we were getting closer we called on CH16 & 68, no reply. So we docked and the owner chews me out for not making a reservation. We explained we tried to but as you did not call us back we could not. As for the marina again, don't bother. There are no cleats, only piles to tie up to with no fender system, only rub rail to protect the piles. It is very confined with a partially submerged rock breakwater so if your vessel is longer than 30" good luck.
    This place needs to stick to conducting weddings instead of running a marina.

      Marina response:

      At River Forest Marina, we are committed to serving all of our cruisers with the utmost kindness and consideration—it’s the only way we know how to do business.

      Due to unfortunate timing, you arrived at the marina ahead of our dockmaster intercepting your after-hours call causing unintended confusion. We are disappointed we were unable to provide the superior service we strive to offer our guests each and every day.

      We proudly host vessels of all sizes, many of which frequently return throughout the year, a privilege we appreciate and never take for granted.

      We also stand by the quality condition of our marina, our docks, the facilities we offer our guests, and our respectful and knowledgeable dockmaster.

      If you find your way back to Belhaven in the future, we hope to have another opportunity to schedule your stay and provide the hospitable service for which we are well known.

    We had to pull in here for electronic repairs and you could not ask for better service.
    The superior customer care and staff are fantastic.
